FLASHBACK: Still standing the test of time

In 1916, the Sears Roebuck Company offered a kit home that anyone could afford (based on today’s prices obviously).    For a mere $1,376.00 you could own an attractive bungalow as shown above. A great example of this very home occupies a spot in the 400 block of north Delaware street in Butler.
